Testimonials

I can say without a doubt this has been my most favourite clinical experience in my time as a medical student / graduate! Dr. X is an amazing clinician and teacher whose approach made this rotation one of the most informative experiences in my training...Dr. X encouraged active participation during rounds and patient admissions. The doctor allowed me to perform assessments and management plans before providing constructive feedback. Dr. X's explanations were clear and the doctor would always communicate clinical reasoning with me, rather than just telling me to memorize the facts. This allowed me to truly understand and remember what we saw day to day. The doctor created a very safe learning environment where I could ask any question or inquiry I had. I felt very involved every day of my rotation. Whether it was taking H&P's, writing notes or speaking during the MDR meetings, there were many options / opportunities to participate and I truly felt part of the team...Dr. X also took genuine interest in my professional growth, financial literacy as a medial professional and my career plans. The doctor's enthusiasm for teaching and patient-centered care made every day meaningful and motivating.
